Review Summary

Escondite generally earns praise for its vibrant atmosphere, creative decor, and flavorful menu, with many diners highlighting the tacos, cocktails, and brunch options as standout experiences. While the tasting menu is frequently recommended as a way to enjoy a variety of high-quality dishes, opinions on value are polarized due to concerns over small portion sizes and the total cost. Service quality appears to be inconsistent across visits, with many guests reporting friendly and attentive care, while others note instances of slow service, errors, or a lack of professionalism that detract from the otherwise festive environment.

Très bon tacos & super ambiance! Les employés sont supers sympathiques & rapides. Le Margarita est bon, mais un peu trop dilué dans les glaçons à mon goût.

Great food but the service was so slow. We had to go to counter to get attention at 8PM, almost empty. When it came time to pay...had to go to counter to ask if we could pay. I felt invisible. Left a bad taste in my mouth for the experience. Old Montreal venue was 100% better. I'm being generous with 4 stars.
